i think asperger's was a good name for it. he's somebody who was born genetically, incapable of forming close relationships with people, incapable of making eye contact, incapable of social reciprocity and all the science that we see in the book, and as a result, they're odd, they're marginalized they're peculiar, they can't make friends. so as time goes on and you get towards 18, 19, 20 when you're expected to have girlfriends and intimate relationships, and close buddies and so on and you can't because there's something weird about you, you tend rather than to say, oh, i guess you'll sort of an odd loner, i guess i just have to accept my lot and get on the internet and play games. no, you blame somebody. and the family says she's a dedicated mom and she sacrificed a lot, including, a career, and to give to her son she then home schooled. what makes you think-- >> i think she was probably more than connected enough, but as he would experience it, she may not at all have been connected enough, in other words, is he supposing y
